I am looking for a net monitoring solution, to monitor some hosts load
averages, memory consumption, I/O perfomance, mails received etc.
Have some experience with rt, but not RTIR/RTFM (what are they? some 'shells'
around RT or what?)
So far I have installed nagios but alas - it seems it doesn't provide
convenient graphs on 'normal' activity, it does provide them on outages and
failures...
I am a capable Perl/PHP engeneer, familiar with rrdtool. I think nagios + n2rrd
+ rrdtool + rt(rtir?) is what I am looking for. Other options include some SNMP
daemon with cacti or oreon, again coupled with rt.
Unfortunately I am not familiar with SNMP, so I don't know what direction to
dig at. Could anyone please share his experience on this matter? I think that's
quite a common task to monitor hosts activity, to plot these graphs and receive
fault notifications.
Any help would be appreciated thankfully.
Generally you just enable snmp on the hosts and run a polling/monitor
package to collect and plot the results. Cacti is pretty easy to set
up, but if you have enough hosts to make auto-discovery worth the effort
of a more complex package you might like opennms: http://www.opennms.org.
